MCN Party, 167

In uk.rec.motorcycles, ogden amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

Ginge

 

Well, that was worth it then

 

ogden emerged from their own little world to say

another 50p on the price to cover the lost deposit and champagne reception

 

That's all the staff *plus* a few people who just wanted to vote when
pissed.... So yes, a result, just not a good one..

 

You wish.

 

How much is the deposit in these things and what percententage do they
need to poll to keep it?

 

500 quid, 5%.

 

500 quid's not much is it?

I guess there's a fine line between stopping 'joke' candidates and
precluding the less affluent.
